Why Safer Stairs Save Lives?

Stair falls cause more serious injuries in buildings than almost any other incident type. Many falls happen because people can't see step edges clearly or the surface is too slippery.

Anti-slip stair nosings address both problems. The contrasting colour makes edges visible (meeting AS 1428.1 luminance contrast requirements). The textured surface provides grip (meeting AS 4586 slip resistance requirements).

We install various nosing types depending on your stairs and traffic. Carborundum-filled epoxy for extreme grip. Aluminium with anti-slip inserts for durability. Applied coatings for budget-conscious options.

A factory in Dandenong had three lost-time injuries from stair falls in one year. Their concrete stairs were all one colour with no edge marking or anti-slip treatment. We installed carborundum nosings with high-contrast yellow colour. Zero stair injuries in two years since.

We made an error on a Ringwood office building in 2019. We used a nosing strip with insufficient luminance contrast, about 20% instead of the required 30%. It looked fine but failed testing during building inspection. We replaced all nosings at our cost, around $2,200. Now we verify contrast before completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depends on traffic, environment, and budget. Industrial stairs often need carborundum. Commercial buildings suit aluminium. We assess and recommend the right product.

Yes, surface-applied nosings can be mechanically fixed or adhesive-bonded to existing concrete, timber, or metal stairs.

Quality nosings typically last 5-15 years depending on traffic. High-traffic industrial stairs wear faster than occasional-use office stairs.

Outdoor stairs need weather-resistant nosings and often higher slip resistance for wet conditions. We specify appropriate products.

Minimal. Keep them clean and replace when worn. Aluminium nosings with inserts can have just the insert replaced when worn.

Paint provides luminance contrast but limited slip resistance. For safety-critical stairs, nosings are recommended. Paint may suit low-traffic internal stairs.
